| - I have often been on vacation and visited a spa with a hair salon included and wondered to myself, who goes on vacation and gets a haircut?? Well, now I know- people like me. My regular girl is on maternity leave and I was trying to wait for her to return, when we went to Vegas for our anniversary. It's then that every split end waved at me in every reflection, and could not be ignored. My husband wanted a massage one day and I decided why not check out the salon. I was either going to return home and try out a new girl, or I could try out someone in Vegas and knock something off my "to do" list to save myself the time when I got back.
I made an appointment with Crystal for a haircut, and she complimented my hair saying whoever normally cuts it does a great job. I know my regular girl is awesome, and it put me at ease that she just planned to clean up my overgrown layers and not change the way the style already is. She was super fun to hang out with, and gave me 2 recommendations for restaurants off the strip to try out. My husband and I ended up trying both while we were there for the week, and they were the best two meals we had while we were in Vegas!
A great haircut and 2 great recommendations is a triple win for me! I would definitely go back to her if I lived in the area.
Was it pricey? Of course- it's the salon inside the Venetian Hotel and on the strip. Everything is expensive. A great tip, however, is save the money on blow drying... I was staying in the hotel so I told her she didn't have to blow dry it, I could go upstairs and style it the way I like and save her the time. She then shared that my cut was $70, but to blow dry and style it would be an additional $90. I was happy to save the money, and spend it doing other fun things throughout the week.
I should also mention, Crystal is pregnant, so she may be on maternity leave soon as well. If she is available though- I highly recommend her.
And, Crystal, if you see this-thanks for the great haircut and two thumbs up on the Italian and Mexican restaurant recommendations!
P.S. My husband rated his massage as awesome, although he did not remember the masseuse's name.
We also utilized the gym while we were there and found it to be very clean with top of the line equipment. We'd recommend all their facilities.
